The Music in the Chapel series showcases an eclectic range of performers and local musicians. Immerse yourself in the acoustic and visual charms of Lakewood’s historic Memorial Chapel as we welcome Makam Baklava for this special performance.
Experience the magic of Makam Baklava—where every performance is a celebration of culturally-diverse harmonies and musical excellence. This group of musicians came together a decade ago, led by the talented Nickolai Kolarov and Orhan Ucer, to share the rich musical traditions of Turkey, Bulgaria and the Balkans. The group is inspired by the timeless wisdom of the renowned philosopher and poet Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi, embracing the philosophy: “Come join us, whoever you are, you are always welcome here.”
